If you're looking for some high-grade headphones to get you through that insufferable plane ride or 12-hour road trip that's looming in a few weeks, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal than the one Adorama has right now. The online electronics store is selling Audio-Technica's ATH-M50x, a studio-grade set of around-the-ear wired headphones, for just $99. That's $70 off of Adorama's regular price, and a whopping $140 cheaper than Audio-Technica's recommended retail price. The white version is the only one available, but it's even cheaper than the Amazon deal from a couple of weeks ago.

The ATH-M50x features a fold-up design for compact storage, 45mm drivers, a detachable headphone cord (with no less than three included coiled and straight cables), a 15-28,000Hz frequency range, and an included carrying case. About the only things that aren't included are a microphone or in-line music controls, but then, this isn't primarily designed to be a mobile set. Even so, if you want awesome sound on the cheap for your phone (or a significant other's), this is a great way to get it for under a hundred bucks.

Adorama's deal includes free shipping to the United States. There's no mention of when the deal will expire or how long the stock will last, so get an order in quickly if you want one.

Which closed one is going to be comparable to the M50x at $99 or less? I like Sennheiser too, but this is a good deal.

For classic quality there are the HD 25 II but because this is 99$ price range (deal) so... of course Audio technica.

AudioTechnica is really one of the best you can buy in that price range - highly recommended. They are headphones where you pay for the quality and not the branding/marketing and the detachable cables are something every headphone should have these days.

I'd take detachable cables if they are done right. The Shure detachable cables twist off too easily and fall. That's how I lost my left IEMs.

And no tax for most states.

And the deal is gone :(

No thanks. I'd rather have some Böhme headphones with a 3000% mark-up from ali express. Awww yeaaa.

Scared of white stuff discoloring after a couple years... anyone have a pair that haven't yellowed a bit?

I went with the M40x back in February because the consensus was that they were more flat and less bass-heavy than the M50x. (I needed them for recording, not listening to hip-hop.) They're regularly $99 at Amazon, but frequently drop to $79 on sales.
